Chapter 72: Absorbing the Power of the Phoenix

"Very good, then are you willing to copy my ability?" Qin Gree's question made Rody stunned for a moment.

The power of the dark phoenix! Damn, whoever refuses whoever ****! This was Roddy's first reaction. But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that this is a huge risk.

The power of the black phoenix is ​​to control and destroy any matter from a microscopic level, which is an Omega-level ability. Not to mention whether it will cause Rody to appear as an evil second personality, just the previous experience of absorbing Iceman's ability made Rody tremble with fear.

The Iceman's ability is only to create ice out of thin air. Although it is also at the Omega level, the power of the phoenix is ​​the metamorphosis of the original cosmic life and emotions, and the two are not at the same level of power at all. The ability to absorb the Iceman last time had already made Rody die, this time his whole head might explode.

Just thinking of his mother's message, Luo Di's shrinking heart gradually became firmer. How powerful the fourth-level mutants are, Roddy has already experienced it with Professor X. And as the only fifth-level mutant, her power will be a shortcut for Rody to grow.

Roddy's ability has reached a bottleneck state. Due to too many ordinary abilities copied, the progress of telepathic ability is seriously restricted. The only thing he can rely on is the ability to absorb the Omega level. The last time he absorbed the Iceman's ability, his mental power has been greatly improved. If he can successfully copy the Phoenix Force this time, he can at least break through to the level of a third-level mutant.

"Why do you want me to copy your ability?" Rody asked curiously.

"Because... I need someone who can stop me or kill me when I lose control." When Jean Gray said this, her tone was full of sadness, but she was extremely firm.

Facing this kind of selfless spirit, Luo Di felt that his thoughts were a bit petty. So Rody was so angry that he dispelled all the uneasiness in his heart, and said to Jean Gray: "I am willing to copy your ability."

"Great, I'm going to ask the professor's opinion now." Jean Gray said excitedly as if she had relieved some burden.

"You don't need to ask, let's start now." Roddy hurriedly dissuaded.

Roddy has already made up his mind that he must obtain the power of the Phoenix, so it is best to avoid such extraneous incidents as much as possible.

Who knows if Professor X will disagree because of the danger. This is an opportunity for him to reach the sky in one step, and it is also his most powerful trump card against Magneto in the near future. Rody will never give up.

"This may cause unforeseen consequences, and we must be prepared." Jean Gray disagreed with Roddy's opinion. In her opinion, let Roddy copy the ability to avoid future tragedies, not to cause a tragedy now. .

"Wait!" Roddy held Jean Gray's hand in desperation.

The frost ability was activated, condensed into an extremely thin ice needle, and pierced Jean Grey's palm. Although the wound was extremely thin, a small drop of bright red blood still leaked out.

When Jean Gray's blood touched Roddy's skin, it wasn't as violent as when it absorbed the Iceman's ability. Instead, it was like a warm itchy air flowing from the palm to the brain.

This feeling is very good, like a gentle massage, it makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

"Hey, this time I don't have to suffer from absorbing the Omega ability. Is it because my character has improved?"

However, the development of things did not go as Rody expected, and the air current seemed to be endless.

And the temperature began to rise continuously. In a short period of time, the hot air had turned into a line of fire. Starting from the palm of his hand, Rody's skin began to blacken and fester, then his entire arm, then his shoulders, his neck, and finally half of his face.

The terrifying temperature seemed to come from the body, but the scorched muscles did not emit any smell, as if an invisible fire from another dimension was roasting Roddy.

Jean Gray was taken aback when she saw Roddy's injury, but she didn't expect this to happen to Roddy. But Jean Gray had nothing to do about it, so she had to notify Professor X and other teachers immediately.

By the time he was placed on the life-support apparatus, Rody's upper body had already begun to rot to the bone, but a weak self-healing ability kept Rody's body barely alive. The flesh and blood continued to rot and blacken, and then slowly regenerate and recover. This kind of pain made Rody scream loudly.

Roddy knew he was impulsive this time, but he didn't expect the Phoenix Force to cause such terrible damage. This is not like the Iceman's ability, which only transforms and evolves the brain, but directly affects the body.

It's a pity that Roddy's physique is really too weak. If it wasn't for that clumsy first kiss that made Roddy absorb Claire's self-healing ability, he might have been burned to ashes by the Phoenix Force. But all the abilities copied by Roddy have a flaw, that is, the actual effect is much weaker than that of the original owner.

The most obvious is the ability of the Haitians to shield their abilities. Although Roddy can control the opening and closing as he likes after copying, both the coverage and the limit of shielding are far inferior to the Haitians.

Therefore, the self-healing ability that Rody copied from Claire is also a severely weakened version. Generally, small wounds need about ten seconds to heal, but Claire can recover in the blink of an eye.

Although the effect of self-healing ability is very small, at least it guarantees that Roddy will not die immediately, but if there are no other changes, Roddy won't last long.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't know it would turn out like this." Jean Gray said very remorsefully.

"No, it has nothing to do with you, Roddy is too impatient." Professor X said to Jean Gray, frowning. Roddy's spiritual world was in chaos because of the severe pain, and Professor X couldn't sense what Roddy needed. In other words, in this case, Rody has nothing to do.

"Professor, what shall we do now?"

"Roddy has a weak self-healing ability to maintain his life. The only thing we can do is to enhance his self-healing ability, so that there may be a turnaround." Professor X is indeed a person who has studied supernatural powers for many years, and he can tell at a glance the most critical place.

"Professor, let Roddy absorb my ability." Logan said.

Wolverine's self-healing ability and physique are super strong, but I don't know if this ability will overlap with Claire's self-healing ability, or will Roddy grow a pair of bone claws?

"It doesn't make sense. Although Roddy can copy the ability, he can't have the same effect as the original owner in an instant. Even if he copied your self-healing ability, it probably won't be much better than it is now, and it may even be useless at all." Professor X quickly overruled Logan's suggestion.

"Then how can we increase Roddy's self-healing ability?" Qin Gray asked anxiously. Roddy's bones are now starting to turn black.

"Go to Little Rascal, she can absorb other people's vitality. If Rody obtains her ability, and we take turns injecting vitality into his body, then it will be possible to survive." Professor X's plan can only be death. Horses are used as live horse medicine, as for the effect, it can only depend on the arrangement of fate.
